At work I play solitaire when I’m bored or need a break. I beat my old record. Score of 8467 in 90 seconds is now my best/fastest 
I will admit that the cards couldn’t have been placed any better. Not all of it was skill hehe.

At school I am taking a photography class which I have been scanning and uploading the pictures I have taken, developed, and printed in class. You can find those pictures here. I have different assignments like shutter speed, depth of field and things like that. Go ahead and comment on any of the pictures here. I should look into getting a picture album plugin or something like that for my blog.
Soon there will be a new relese of EasyMOD. No, this won’t be a release of the rewrite but a bug/feature release of the current codebase. We’ve had these new features committed in CVS for a while now and we decided to clean up some bugs and implement a couple new features to coincide with the release of phpBB 2.0.18 (which has been released and you should update immediately if you haven’t already!). A quick note about the rewrite, that is going along smoothly. Should be moving to a public CVS server soon so everyone can follow our progress 
Recently we, the phpBB MOD Team, were looking for new members. We have added Fountain of Apples as a validator to help out in the queue and MennoniteHobbit to help moderate the MOD forums and give support.
My cousin got World of Warcraft. It wouldn’t run on his computer (video card problems) so he brought it to my house so he could try it out. Since he can’t play it, he is letting me use his account. So far it has been a really fun game. I have enjoyed it and I am now addicted. If anyone has it, leave a comment or contact me in some way and we can play together.

… two days late, oh well. This year we did the same thing we do every year, go eat breakfast, watch the parade, hang out all afternoon, and then go to the fireworks at night with the relatives. The parade sucked, as usual, but the fireworks were good.
The next day I wake up and visit my site, mods.best-dev.com, and see this message:
LifeChamber Was Here! Your MySQL Database Username Is **** And The Password Is ****
My site was hacked. From the looks of it, all he/she did was get my MySQL username and password and then edit index.php. Everything else is fine. I still haven’t contacted the ISP of the person that did this nor have I fixed my site. I really need to do that soon. Probably tomorrow.
Getting hacked was my fault. I didn’t update to 2.0.16 of phpBB. I knew there was a critical security problem in it but I didn’t update. Well, I learned my lesson. I’m just glad it wasn’t as bad as it could have been.
I got the Halo 2 Map Pack today. I already had four of the new maps and spent today looking at the other five. I haven’t played any of them, just looked. Most of them seem really fun. Tomorrow evening I’ll for sure play them. I’ll post my impressions on them.
Recently I have been pretty busy working with clients. I really need to stop with this so I can validate some MODs. Tomorrow I’ll make time to validate MODs.
Time for bed.

Xbox 360 picks up Final Fantasy XI, will be backwards compatible – Xbox 360 News at GameSpot
This is good news. Although Microsoft said it will be compatible with top selling games, it could mean that Microsoft will be selecting which Xbox games will be compatible or they just don’t want to come right out and say it is compatible.
Final Fantasy is an awesome game and it will be awesome to see it on the Xbox 360.

Sony released information on the Playstation 3 yesterday at Sony’s Pre-E3 conference. Many of the features are like the Xbox 360 with a few differences.
The Playstation 3 will have a PowerPC-base core running at 3.2GHz which is suppose to be two times more powerful that the Xbox 360’s three processors. It will have 256MB of RAM which is half of what the amount of the Xbox 360 contains (512MB).
Like the Xbox 360, the Playstation will have wirless controllers. You will be able to connect upto seven bluetooth wireless controllers. There will be built in wireless networking support which the Xbox 360 will have as well.
GamePro says that the demonstration of the Playstation 3 was noticeably better than the Xbox 360 mainly in the lighting and shadow areas.
Playstation 3’s controller is shaped like a boomerang and looks a lot like Microsofts Sidewinder controller for the PC. I’ve never heard of the sidewinder but I guess it failed.
The Xbox 360 has more features than just gaming which Sony didn’t mention a whole lot about that. Microsoft may have the upper hand here by appealing to a larger market.
You can find some pictures and more information on the Playstation 3 at GamePro (linked in this post) as well as at GameSpot.

Last night, on MTV, Mircosoft annouced their next gen console, the Xbox 360. I here the show was pretty lame but the console looks to be extremely powerful. You can find the specs and other information here at Xbox.com.
GamePro says that the Xbox 360 will be about 8 times more powerful then the current Xbox as well as DVD playback, wireless network support, and some Live capabilities right out of the box. You can get more information and pictures from GameSpot.
Microsoft hasn’t announced a price or if the Xbox 360 will be backwards compatible and be able to play Xbox games.
I probably won’t be getting it when it is first released. If it isn’t backwards compatible then it probably will be even longer until I get it.
Personally I don’t like the look of it. They should have named it the XPod or IBox. White just isn’t my color.
